Aaliyah is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She makes a base pay of $70 each day and then is paid a $1.25 commission for every computer sale she
makes. Write an equation for P, in terms of x, representing Aaliyah's total pay on a
day on which she sells x computers.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Aaliyah earns $1.25 commission for every computer she sells. No matter what, she will make $70 per day, so that would be our constant. The $1.25 would be our independent variable since it can change depending on the amount of computers x she sells. Therefore, our equation is:

P represents the total pay, 1.25x represents the total commission for x computers, and the 70 is the base pay.

And we're done!

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

the answer is 9 because the question is telling how much it be together.
